I've been traveling back and forth between Asia and the US for almost 20 years now and I'm still strangely fascinated and thrilled by the Asian obsession with karaoke. You haven't truly felt humiliation until you've been forced to stand in front of a crowd of drunken strangers whose language you do not speak and sing Home on the Range or Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down. A friend sent me this clip tonight and it reminded me of how wonderfully wacky the karaoke craze can be. So, who among our readers has the best karaoke story? YouTube.
